Klopp has been full of praise for Doak and other youngsters since the start of pre-season as he continues to give opportunities for the young stars to impress ahead of the start of the 23/24 campaign.
The German said after Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Karlsruher: “We saw the kids how good they were. James never played a six before and today he played there and it was so nice to watch, to be honest. Bobby first half did really well.
“Ben Doak, oh my God, it’s much fun to watch these kids. Calum I’ve known him only nine days, he was injured before and now he was there. Koumas came on, Conor Bradley really good.”
Klopp added: “The kids are really good and the others are really good already, we know that. Some of them might need to get through little holes here and then now because it’s really tough for them of course.”
Liverpool will kick off their 23/24 Premier League campaign against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
